This was the year of the ghazals for Bollywood movies as well as Binaca Geetmala. Quality of songs was extremely high.So much so that songs like "Laakhon taare aasmaan me" and "teri yaad dil se" from "Hariyali aur Raasta" failed to make it to top 32 of this year's Binaca geetmala. Unbelievable, really!

This was the year when Madan Mohan's class was finally recognised by masses as well, when his "Anpadh" ghazals finished 4th and 12th.Naushad called these two ghazals equal to all his compositions put together.Roshan's compositions were equally outstanding,and he had three wonderful songs from "Aashiq" figuring in this Binaca geetmala countdown.And there were a couple of immortal prayers in this year's Binaca geetmala, one of them being " Jyot kalash chalke" from "Bhabhi ki choodiyan", and the other was "Tumhi ho mata, pita tumhi ho" from "Main chup rahoongi" which became popular as school prayers in many schools ( including in my school).

I was pleasantly surprised to know that people look at my profile. So here is something about me.
I am Atul, an India based male in my 40s. I grew up in the golden era of Bollywood music viz 1960s and 1970s. I am interested in the same topics in which most typical Indians are interested, viz cricket,bollywood,etc.
At present I have confined this blog to discussing Bollywood songs, but in future I may discuss other topics too.
